To view this text file correctly, please use a Japanese text viewer
program or download NJStar at www.njstar.com and download the Japanese
word processor and the CJK viewer. By the way, if you have Internet explorer
5.0 (I think), right click on the text, and choose 'Encoding', then select
Japanese (Auto Select) and the kana will come out just right. I strongly
recommend doing this to view any of my guides with Japanese in them correctly.

In this guide are translations of the menu screen, item menus, status
menus, spell menus, strategy menus, and battle menus. Also in this guide
are translations of all the weapons, armor, items, spells, town shop info,
and monsters I have found while playing through Chapter 4.

A quick summary of what to do to get through Chapter 4 is also included.

If you choose to save the game, the priest double checks if that is
what you want to do. Reply with はい: Hai (Yes) if you want to save, or
say いいえ: Iie (No) if you do not want to. If you do say no, the priest
asks if you want to still play. If you didn't save, I wouldn't recommend
saying you want to take a break; you'd have to redo everything since the
last time you did save.

Reply to his first question with はい: Hai (Yes), and he asks which
memory card slot you want to use. Reply with Slot 1 or Slot 2. Save over
whatever empty/current file you have, then he asks if you want to keep
playing.

What Inform does is simply say how much more experience everyone in
the party needs until they reach their next level.

Revive will bring dead party members back to life, but for a price.

Poison Treatment will cure どく: Doku (Poison) status.

Undo Curse will remove a cursed item from a party member. Note that
when a cursed item is removed, it is destroyed in the process.

Hit the Circle button to open up the command window. The six options
that appear are:

Note-a ** means there are more options that open when you select that
command.

はなす: Hanasu (Talk) じゅもん: Jumon (Magic)

**どうぐ: Dougu (Item) しらべる: Shiraberu (Search)

**つよさ: Tsuyosa (Status) **さくせん: Sakusen (Strategy)

どうぐ: Dougu (Item Bag) Translations

Choose a character, and then hit the Circle button on the item in question,
and another menu pops up. The translations for those are as follows:

つかう: Tsukau (Use item)

わたす: Watasu (Move item up or down in list)

そうび: Soubi (Equip the item if you can)

すてる: Suteru (Throw the item away; once its thrown, its gone!)

やめる: Yameru (Cancel)

つよさ: Tsuyosa (Status) Translations

When you choose this command, you can choose an individual character,
or choose the bottom option, ぜにん: Zenin, which shows a 'quick list'
of all party members' current/max hp, current/max mp, their current experience
level, and the amount of time the game has been played.

Now choose an individual character, and the stats are translated as
follows:

_______________________________________________________________

| Name | Amount of Gold |

|Character Type |--------------------------------------------|

| Sex | ちから: Chikara (Power) |

| Exp. Level | すばやさ: Subayasa (Agility) |

------------------ たいりょく: Tairyoku (Vitality) |

|Weapon equipped | かしこさ: Kashikosa (Intelligence) |

|Armor equipped | うんのよさ: Un no Yosa (Luck) |

|Shield equipped | こうげき力: Kougeki Chikara (Attack Power) |

|Helmet equipped | しゅび力: Shubi Chikara (Defense Power) |

|Decoration eqpd | さいだいHP: Saidai HP (Max HP) |

-----------------| さいだいMP: Saidai MP (Max MP) |

| Ex: Current Experience Points |

----------------------------------------------

Note-こうげき力: Kougeki Chikara (Attack Power) is figured by the characters'
ちから: Chikara (Strength) + the attack power of their equipped weapon,
and しゅび力: Shubi Chikara (Defense Power) is figured by the defense power
of their equipped armor, shield, helmet, decoration (if it applies) plus
50% of their Agility rating.

When you open this menu, these options pop up. The translations for
these are to the best of my knowledge, so if anyone out there knows what
the last option does, please email and I will give you credit for it.

When you get into a fight, the battle menu on the bottom left looks
like this:

たたかう: Tatakau (Fight)

にげる: Nigeru (Flee)

If you hit Left or Right on the directional pad or the left analog stick,
the game asks if you want to change the message speed. Hit the Circle button
if you want to, hit Left, Right, or the X button if you don't want to.

The default message speed is 4. 1 is the fastest, while 8 is the slowest.
If you choose to たたかう: Tatakau (Fight), another window opens up. This
is the Fight Command menu.

This list was created in the order I fought monsters in (Chapter 4 monsters
only), and go by the same formula as everything else in the guide (kana/romaji/translation),
but also includes the US version of Dragonquest 4's name. The HP totals
are taken from my foldout poster that came with the US version of the game
on the NES.

やみのランプ: Yami no Ranpu (Dark Lamp) Found in the cave west of Gormizu/Kievs.
Turns day into night when used. Cannot use in caves.

せいじゃくの玉: Seijaku no Tama (Silence Ball) Found in the cave west
of Gormizu/Kievs. Loosens the toungues of townspeople, making them say
new things. Also can be used as an item in battle; it casts マホトーン:
Mahoto-n (Stopspell).

かやくつば: Kayakutsuba (Gunpowder Jar) Found at the bottom of the Attemto
mine. Used outside of the Minister of King Leo's room to scare him into
leading the party to Balzack and King Leo.

じょうせん券: Jousenken (Boarding Ticket) Found in a chest after beating
Balzack and losing to King Leo. Used in Havaria to board the ship heading
for Endor.

When Minea uses the Silver Tarots, she will randomly draw one of 10
different cards. Please note that the same card can now be drawn multiple
times in each battle, and I have not drawn that card that summons a Necrodain
yet, because Minea keeps getting killed by the Bad Card before I can draw
11 cards. When I finally am able to, I'll update the Card List. Also note
that if the Star Card is drawn more than once, you will only gain the 2x
Exp and Gold bonus one time. This is what each card does. The text shown
is the same as what appears onscreen.

ミネアは とうの カードを ひいた！: Minea drew the Tower Card!

So, just look for what the second word is in the text window, and that
is where the name of the card that was drawn will appear. Here are the
Cards' names, and their effects:

That's it for now, unless I get enough emails about anything else or
any additions/changes. Thank you for reading my FAQ and email with any
questions (akaiscarlet@hotmail.com) or if you just want to talk to someone
about any of the Dragonquest games, or any other games I have written FAQ's
for.
